Rome Industries Pie Iron Sandwich Cooker

Love this pie iron. Initially when I received it I thought it looked too small for a standard size slice of bread, however allowing for the indentation of the irons it became apparent that the size is more than adequate. It took a while to season per the instructions - cast iron retains a lot of heat an took time to cool before applications of shortening but once done I had great fun experimenting with toasted treats and didn't have problems with sticking. I tried egg and bacon toasted sandwiches, toasted cheese filled tortilla wrap, and finally apple pastries using store bough ready-rolled chilled croissant dough and tinned apples - all were super easy and were a winner with the family. With a hot fire from a small firebox stove I was turning the pastries and sandwiches around in about 5 minutes each. There are lots of recipe ideas on youtube. Well pleased with this pie iron. It's going to be a great addition to our camping kitchen and depending on how we get on in the field I may purchase a second one.

Just so much fun on a bbq, firepit or even a bonfire! Toasties never tasted so good.

Wonderful. Bought this as a present for munchies late at night round the fire. Cheese toasties are just the tip of the iceberg, so many recipes on Pintrest for pies and other delicious snacks xxx

Toasted campfire sandwiches. Works well with a little patience to get the sandwiches out. Found placing bread in side on works much better

Present for friend, he loves it

I purchased 6 of these for a summer project working with children and their families. After some research, I was informed that these were a good, well made brand. On there first use, two broke on the hinge while being used by families, and another the handle dropped out. That's a 50% fault rate. I contacted the sellers (Rome Industry) direct, as their website suggests they will deal with any issues due to faults on the manufacturing instantly. To be fair, they responded quickly and I sent them photos of the problems and they were surprised by the fault, which they suspect might be a hairline crack during production. They promised to send replacements. I purchased these in July 2019, and it's now January 2020, and despite follow up emails, I still haven't received my replacement pie irons. Will not be buying these again and very, very disapointed with what I thought was a reputable family business :(

Works great with super crispy toasted sandwiches. Like others have said, cut off the crusts from standard white loaf and they fit fine. I make up a few sandwiches and then toast one after another, as they are so popular. Work great over a gas hob.

I had carefully reviewed different brands of pie irons, and settled on this brand because it is the one used/recommended by the Wisconsin pie iron chefs who wrote the Pudgie Pie Revolution cookbook(s). (I also purchased the round pie iron, which I will review separately). And, we could not be happier! We have used this iron a few times over our charcoal grill & over a fire, & it has always produced perfect pies. But, I FIRMLY BELIEVE that what has contributed to our success was the purchase of the cookbook to go along with because it describes exactly how to prepare the food & pie irons according to what type of outer layer you'll be using. Without the cookbook, we would've been lost. This is NOT an endorsement for the cookbook - I'm simply stating a fact. SIZE: This square pie iron is the perfect size to accommodate a full piece of bread, small flour tortilla, egg roll wrapper, etc. And, you want the outer layer to flow over the top of the iron so that when you clamp it shut, that extra layer around the edge forms a seal. DESIGN: There is a clamp closer to the handle that easily opens and closes the two halves of the pie iron. The other end of the pie iron folds completely off so you can prepare each half of the iron with your ingredients. COOKING: We follow the instructions in the cookbook, but this iron only takes about three minutes on each side to produce an evenly cooked pie. And, because the latch allows you to open it while cooking, you're able to see how the outer layer is doing. CLEANUP: We use a nylon-bristled brush with warm water to clean the irons. When finished, we lightly run in some oil & sea salt. Cleanup is usually simply, unless the fillings spill out onto the iron, which shouldn't happen if the pies are not overfilled.

Great to use on stove top or bbq. Awesome taste and much easier to clean than electric jaffle toasters!!!

Arrived packaged very well with detailed instruction. I can tell it was made with care. I researched the snot out of these cookers on Amazon (and elsewhere), read tons of reviews and ultimately landed on this one. Very glad I did. We followed the seasoning instructions and started cooking over a camp fire. Worked perfectly every time. We already had a different pie cooker (as do our friends) but this one is defiantly our favourite...the quality, size and shape of the iron part is perfect for any loaf of store bought white bread. The handles are quality and comfortable to use. If I ever need to order another one I will get this one again.

I love this thing. We made pizza, sandwiches and pies. We did season it per inctructions prior to use and oiled with vegetable oil after each use. Never had any food stick. I was able to heat and wipe clean after cooking. It is too heavy for a child to hold over fire/coals. I layed it on a grate or rock and just turned periodically. The versatility on what u can cook in here is endless. I'm sire u could make eggs and omletes as well is you season it. I didnt get a chance to try it. The only tjing I wish is that I had bought 5 so that I could cook everyones food at once because depending on what ur cookking it takes 5-9 minutes. It has wood handles that do not get hot. Where the box joins the pole does feel as if it could break if held out for long periods but it didnt break and we used it for three days for 5 people. Cast iron material seems like good quality but it has to be cleaned and seasoned oer instructions. It comes with a coating of wax on it that must be removed before seasoning and using but was easy to do and I did at home before we left
